Bowen has solved the garbage problem. She has succeeded, after two weeks’ work, in bringing about such a union of effort between housewives, ser- vant girls, and garbage contractors that certain parts of the eleventh ward show no sign of ill-smelling disease-breeding gar- bege boxes and are so clean that residents do not recognize their own house fronts and rears. Dr. Bowen has introdused an element of music into the problem and the success of the experiment is attested by nearly all the physicians living in the ward. * One of the drivers of Contractor Powell, who has the garbage contract for the ward, has been armed with a horn. At the sound of this housewives and servant girls bring out to the wagon in metal recep- tacles the garbage which has been col- lected during the previous twenty-four hours. This does away with the necessity of the ordinary wooden boxes which soon become saturated with filth, and whether empty or full are constant breeders of dis- case. It is proposed to give every driver one of these horns, and as fast as the houses are provided with the covered met- al receptacles, which can be kept in the yard, the new system will be extended over the entire ward. Dr. Bowen was led to undertake the work by the condition of the alley in the rear of her residence. By a house to house can- vass she finally succeeded in persuading all the residents In the block to get the metal receptacles and to do away with the weoden ones, Then she,explained -her plan to Contractor Powell, who saw its advan- tages at once and readily consented to al- lew the driver on that’'route to play the hern which would ve furnished him by the residents. Foi Having cleaned up the alley in the rear of her own residence, Dr. Bowen began to extend her operation’. She gave two hours every day to the missfonary work. The next place attacked: was Ogden place, be- twcen Ogden avenue and Paulina street. There the wooden boxes sent their mi- crobe-laden smells heavenward from the curbstones. Dr. Bowen found some difficul- ty in persuading the residents of the effi- cacy of the metal regeptacies to be emptied at the sound of the horn. Some of the householders charg her with being in the pay of the contractor. She therefore ccnsidered it advisable ‘to procure creden- tials from the physi¢iang of the ward. Ry dint of mahy asta much talking, Dr. Bowen succeeded in banishing the foul weeden boxes from the locality, and in putting in operation the horn-blowing sys- tem. Superintendent Rhode of the street and alley cleaning bureau has given Dr. Bowen every encouragenient, and says her system will solve the problem. It also has the sanction of the civic federation. Dr. Bow- en said yesterday: “The point for which I am working is the abolition of the wooden garbage box, saturated with filth to such a degree that even when empty it is a serious menace to public health. I shall not stop my work until the entire eleventh ward is free from the wooden garbage box. I am now pre- paring a circular which will be sent to every house in the ward, so that when I call my mission will be understood. When the system has been thoroughly tried I shall endeavor to secure the passage of an ordinance making the system obligatory throughout the city.”” THE BIMETALLIC UNION Its Headquarters in This City Are New Practically Deserted. Undecided What Will Be Done After the Chicago Convention— May Close Up. ‘The headquarters of the American Pi- metallic Union in this city are practically deserted, and Secretary Warner and all the other officials are in Chicago, awaiting the outcome there. Up to six months ago there were two non-partisan organizations in the country the business of which was to dis- tribute silver literature everywhere. One of these was the American Bimetallic Uniou, with headquarters in Chicago, and the other the American Bimetallic League, with headquarters here. Gen. A. J. War- ner, who was the permanent chairman of the Ohio convention, was president of the latter. In January last the two organiza- tions were consolidated by a meeting which was held here, under the foregoing name. Gen. Warner was elected president of the combined organization, which decided to establish offices in Washington, Chicago, San Francisco and New York. It May Close Up Shop. The officials of the union’ have not de- cided what they will do after the Chicago convention. If that convention nominates a silver man they say that their work for the present may be done, or they hope it will be done. They say that they would probably not keep their offices open if the populisis and all the other silver parties indorse the Chicago nominee. The matter of conducting the fight would be left to the national committee of the democratic party. It would no longer be necessary to Keep headquarters open in the various elt It will not be decided, however, whether the union will shut down business until after the silver conventions at St. Louis. The union will then know for sure w! will do. If the populists make a nom: tion the league may be called on to take part in the tight and decide between which of the two parties it will support. At the headquarters here there ar sands of speeches of silver men re to be sent out, and th ent before the quarters are clo: Very little postage is paid by the union. It simply takes charge of the speeches of siiver Senators and Representatives and sends them out urder the tranks of the respective officials. It is estimated that the union and the league, before their consolidation, each sent out millions of silver speeches and documents. They probably did more than any other organizations in the country to work up the silver sentiment which now prevail. - SATOLLI’S SUCC MGR. SSOR. Faleconio Formerly Did Missionary Work in New York City. Mer. Diomede Falconio, whose appoint- Ment as papal delegate to succeed Mar. Satolli was announced by cable yesterday, says the New York Evening Sun, is well known in this country. He was born about fifty-five years ago in Italy and c€ne to this country in 1865. He completed his theological studies in St. Bonaventure’s College, Allegany, Cattarau- gus county, N. Y., and was ordained a priest by the late Bishop Timon of Buffalo in 1868. He taught in St. Bonaventure’s College for some years. He afterward went to Newfoundland. His first work in New York was at the Franciscan Monastery, at 151 Thompson street. He was rectcr of St. Anthony's Church and worked in conjunction with Father Anacletus. In 18S5 | he went to Rom where he held eral important offices. He was then made archbisnop. Prominent Roman Catholics in this city this morning were of the opinion that Mgr. Falcorio would prove quite acceptabie, be- cause of his long residence in America, and also on account of his thorough knowl- edge of American methods and institutions. Cardinal Satolli has not left for Rome, as was announced, but is still in this coun- try, and will await the arrival of the new papal delegate. 2 According to Father Anacletus, who ig now the head of the Franciscan Order in this city, the rapid promotion of Mgr. Fal- conio is without precedent in recent years. Bui a comparatively few years ago he was a humble missionary in the slums of Thompson and Bleecker streets, but even then he showed signs of such ability. “I knew him when a boy,” said Father Anacletus today. fter ordination, my friend went to Harbor Grace diocese, in Newfoundland, and immediately attracted the attention of the bishop. Ai coliege he was noted for his keen wit and reasoning power. There was no one whom he could not best in an argument. He made a spe- ciaity of doctrinal theoiogy, and on that became an authority. “At the same time he possessed a most genial nature, a big heart and was very popular. He had not been long at Harbor Grace before he was appointed vicar gen- eral, an unusual honor for a man of his age. In such high esteem was he held that during an absence of the bishop, Fal- conio was made temporary administrator. “In spite of this fact, he preferred to leave Newfoundland and come to New York to do mission work in the slums with me. At that time we occupied our old brick building, and the accommodations were very poor. He was the shining light in the monastery, and was greatly beloved in the neighborhood. He worked here for nearly a year, but in such a quiet way that he at- tracted little attention in the church. “His college remembered him, however, and requested him to return and take a pro- fessorship in theology. He occupied that position there for several years, and then left for Italy to visit aged parents. That was in 1S8Y, and at that time the general chapter of the Franciscan Order was noth- ing at Rome. As a prominent member of the order, Falconio was elected procurator general of the Reformed Franciscans, dis- tinguished from the general order by some unimportant departures. The term of office was for six years. He served only three and was then made bishop of the diocese of Lacedonia, Italy. He was made arch- bishop of the archdioceses of Acerona and Maltera, in Calabria, Italy, last October. His unusual ability has brought him into high favor with the pope, and it is no sur- prise to us to learn that he has been made papal delegate to America.” pooh Se eet Army Orders. Major Isaac Arnoki, jr., ordnance depart- ment, has been ordered to proceed to Spring- field arsenal, Springfield, Mass., on busi- ness relating to the heating of public build- ings.

JHE POPULIST MANIFESTO Leaders Announce Their Preference for Teller, Principles of the Party Outlined— Democrats Should Prove the Sin- cerity of Their Declaratio: ‘The populist leaders at Chicago have is- sued the following manifesto in behalf of Senator Teller: CHICAGO, July 6.—Upon the eve of ac- tiow by the democratic national convention about to assemble at the city of Chicago we find the situation such that we deem it proper to address all friends of free silver coinage and financial reform in the United States. As members of the people's party we have occupied the position merely of care- ful observation, and we have not at- tempted to, nor shall we attempt to, dictate to the democratic national convention, but as large numbers of persons, many of them delegates to that convention, are as- suming to express the opinion that the people's party and other advocates of free silver coinage should accept the nominees of the democratic convention and join to elect the same upon a democratic platforta, we desire to express our views upon this subj. not as binding upon the people's party, but as expressive of what we believe to be its sentiment. Four years ago at Omaha the people's party, among cther reforms, demanded the free and urlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1, full legal tender for all debts, in- dependently of any other nation. We wei then told by the democratic and republican parties that this was an economic error. The people’s party thus became and ha remained the logical united party for free silver. The republican party ha ted in its policy for a gold standard, thereby alienating a large portion of its formcr adherents. The democratic party is di- vided, with a majority of its delegate favoring the populist doctrine as to fre silver coinage, while a representing great democrat soluteiy refuse to consent to and its present administrat with ali it patronage, is in rabid hostility to the » of free silver, and will exert its vast bower to defeat a fice silver candidate. _ Che democratic party, therefore, meets in national convention under most extra- ordinary cireumst It cannot at th time be surprised to find that a vast num ber of the people look with distr mere platform profession. The free silver coinage is the people’s cause. It requires for success against the mighty powers opposing it the votes of millions of men who have not acted with the demo- cratic party. How, then, can that party, at a time when it is by hopeless division more weak and impotent than ever before, undertake this gigantic task in the narrow spirit of straight party action? Must Prove Sincerity. If it expects the co-speration of the mil- lions who are outside of its ranks it is bound to prove by its acts now and here that it is sincere and that it places the success of this cause above the narrow plane of a mere partisan effort. If the democratic party expects to over: come the distrust which the present ad- minisiration has earned for it, now is the time to prove its sincerity. : There is a candidate upon whom the votes cf all friends of free silver can be united, if all at heart will yi treme par first and place the cause party success second. He is a candidate, who, having given more than twenty years toa devoted struggle for this cause and for financial reform, has shown that he can put his devotion to h principles above all party ties or part. succes: He stepped out of bis party upon the laration of a single gold standard, and nding, as he does, untramm by arty affiliaiicns and devoted to cause h the democratic party now by a ma- ity declares the supreme question of the pove all men becomes the logical upon whom all who love this cause can unite. He is able, competent, tried, true, earnest, reliable ‘and can be triumphantly elected. To nominate a straight democratic Gidate in a divided party, when million honest citizens stand ready to support a can- of non-partisan candidate, is a mere reckless experiment, not only an act of supreme in this hour, but a defiance of ail ence, and cannot but be construed as weaning that the democratic party desires to conjure with the magic of an occasion and preters defeat for the cause in a spirit of narrow pariisanship, to success by a rational act of union upon a candi- date who can certainly succeed. Party Principles. The people’s party has other principles, and it has within the states which are surely for silver coinage a following as great as that of the democratic party when its vote in the gold states is eliminated. We feel confident that the people's party is willing to open the path to a union upo: Mr. Henry M. Teller, and if this patriotic oportunity for certain success be refecte by the democratic convention in the de- termination to seek complete partisan sui cess, regardless of an open path to victory, then we call the true friends of the cause to witness that their responsibility rests upon those who reject this opportunity, and that it is a conclusive proof that we, who have championed this cause for years, who are united in its support, are its safe de- fenders, and will carry it to success. Whatever may be our individual wishes in the premises, we are forced to say, after #n earnest endeavor to inform ourselves about the sentiment of the people's party of the country at large that that party can- rot be induced to indorse a candidate for President who has not severed his affilla- tions with the old political parties.

O'Neill of the Pacific vinegar factory noticed a yellowhammer tndustri- ously at work one day recently on the sid- ing of the factory building. Mr. O'Neill watched the bird for some time, and-inside of en hour it had cut a rourd hole two or thies inches in diameter throvgh the inch planking. Mr. O'Neill is not a mean man, and if the bird cared to make its home in his vinegar factory, why, it was all right. Next day, however, he uoticed that the yellowhamimer was engaged on another hole. “It's for a back door,” thought the owner of the building. But after it ia-i finished the back docr it cheerfully went to work on the other holes, probably for windows. By the time there were fifteen heles in the side of the factery Mr. O'Neill concluded that the yellowhammer was tak- ing liberties with his property. So he ob- tained permission from the chief of pols to shoot it. For a whole dey the office bo: and Mr. O'Neill's brother banged awa without phasing the little bird, and it was finally necessary to empicy an expert marksman to bring it down. The marks- man charged 50 cents for his services, and Mr. O'Neill also lost the best part of a day nailing boards over the holes in the plank- ing. oe A © Rat Story. From the Rockland (Me.) Star.

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS Gol. Wilson’s Report of Operations During the Month of June. Minor Repairs to the Executive Mav- sion—Efforts Made to Rid the Trees of Caterpi Col. J. M. Wilson has made a report to the chief of engineers, in regard to opera- ticns on public buildings and grounds dur- ing the month of June. In a chapter about the executive mansion, he says that the usual summer renovation and overhauling have taken place. New carpets have been purchased to replace those worn out, and the china and glass for state ceremonies ordered to replace pieces broken in past years have been received. The chande- liers and other lighting apparatus have been thoroughly cleaned and covered for the summer season. Minor repairs have been made to the furniture wherever nec- cssary.

The ballcon burst, owing to sudden expansion, and tts human freight was 1 stantly precipitated into space. Shor ter an Italian aeronaut, Signor Capazza, appeared in Brussels with his invention to prevent th> falling of a balloon in the event of explosion through expansion, fire, imperfect construction, or what not.

Scores of women bicyclists, carrying their dogs in the small hammock-like affair in front, are to be seen at any time upon the highways nowadays, although it was only a little While ago that such a thing was a novelty, and everybody turned to stare at it. If the dog is big, he runs alongside the wheel: in this latter case he serves as not only company, but protection. Upon a lone- ly country road the wheelwoman, if she is riding by herself, cannot fail to be haunted by the fear of possible tramps, but both fears and tramps are successfully silenced at sight of a fierce-looking hound or mastiff trotting at her side.
